Logic Express for news recording and editing?

Based on the recommendation of many friends who work in public radio I bought a Digidesign M-Box 2 Mini and got ProTools to use for doing audio editing on news and spoken word projects. The thing has been a real pain in the butt causing me hundreds of system crashes and endless problems with my MacBook Pro (Late 2008). Digidesign has admitted that their M-Box driver is defective but they can't fix the current drivers 'cause they are soooo busy working on support for Snow Leopard (Which they may deliver sometime in Spring 2010). ProTools also requires that you have the M-Box connected to your system in order to launch the program.
I'm fed up with being forced to connect a defective interface to my laptop every time I want to use ProTools and ready to try something else. Are the audio editing tools in the new Logic Express 9 good enough to use for this kind of work?
I could almost get away with using Garage Band but it's a bit limited with support for only 16-bit audio (most news sources are pretty quiet and need boosting) and the GB interface makes me crazy.

I think Logic is overkill for what you need - you'll never use 95% of it for recording/editing spoken word audio files.
Although I'm not familiar with manipulating audio for news use, I'd think that something like Amadeus Pro would do the job.

with an interface such as an AudioFire like this:

which is very good quality, reliable, and not expensive.
BTW, recent versions of GarageBand do support 24-bit recording.

Sountrack or Logic/Logic Express for voice over recording?

Hello,
I am wondering which software is best for voice over work? Sountrack or Logic/Logic Express?
Any input would be great. I would add the standard effects/filters to certain voice overs and add sound effects and music.
I have a midi/guitar and garage band is enough for me. I would not want to use Garageband as my software of choice for voice over work. I want markers and other more advanced tools?
Thanks,
Erik

Thanks for the answer.
I was looking at the Dialogue Tools in Sountrack and they appear to be perfect.
My main questrion is can record into Sountrack with a mic right? I have an m-audio saphire with a m-audio preamp.
I saw a demo of Soundtrack at NAB and all the effects looked perfect for voice over. I think Logic Studio is overkill but Sountrack and Logic Express( for my guitar) might be a perfect 1-2 punch. I will get Sountrack with The Final Cut Studio as I need video tools as well.
Thanks,
Erik

Is it possible to pre-set Logic Express to start recording at a specific time, in my absence?

Is it possible to pre-set Logic Express to start recording at a specifi time, in my absence?
I am using a new MacBook Pro with solid state drive.

As far as I know Logic is not able to timer record. But Audacity can and it's a free program:

Ok I misunderstood the question.
If a scheduler is not possible although easy to implement, you can also try something like this on your poller.
select * from table where sysdate in (list_of_dates)
I just typed the query in, but you get the idea I hope. I had a similar requirement and this is how I achieved it:

JQuery Tutorial needed to customize Add New Item and Edit Item forms

Hello,
I need a tutorial to use JQuery to customize the UI Screen of SharePoint to add a new item in a list.
since I don't have prior UI experience it will be nice if the tutorial is specifically targetted towards customizing the automatic form which is presented by sharepoint when we try to add an item to a custom lists.
val it: unit=()

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to customize the New Item and Edit Item forms using jQuery.
The following examples for your reference:

How do I turn on my wireless keyboard and make it 'discoverable'? I got a message that the batteries were low, so I changed them for new ones and now the keyboard doesn't work.

I got a message saying that the batteries were low, so changed them for new ones and now the keyboard cannot be 'found'. There seems to be no way to turn it on and make it 'discoverable' to the system. At the moment I'm typing this on a spare keyboard plugged into the back of my mac via a USB. Please help!

Have you checked to make sure the batteries are inserted the correct way? Have you tried to turn it on by pushing the right upper (round) edge of the keyboard - if you do that, do you see a tiny little green light? Since you have a wired keyboard, can you get to the Bluetooth setup/preference pane so you can manually try to sync the keyboard?
PS - posting duplicate posts is not helpful - it makes things too confusing, so I've asked the hosts to remove your other (identical) post.

Since updating to Mavericks, Mail doesn't work properly. It just stops working (no error messages--it just won't check for new mail) and I must shut it down and reopen it to get it working again. Any suggestions?

Try to force quit the mail app
Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.
Failing that, go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars and remove your account info then put it back in and see if that works

How do I insert new record and get results on a landing page

how do I insert new record and get results on a landing page

It's not clear from your post what you are asking. In a SQL database, you use the INSERT statement to insert a row into a table. You use the SELECT statement to retrieve rows. Here's some basic info on how to do that within PHP

Using Airport Express for External speakers and Apple TV. When I'm on MAC computer adn using internet sound from Internet does not go through external speakers. Instead it comes out of Mac computer speaker. Why?

Using Airport Express for External speakers and Apple TV. When I'm on MAC computer adn using internet sound from Internet does not go through external speakers. Instead it comes out of Mac computer speaker. Why?

As far as I know, the Airport Express only transmits sounds via Itunes. So every other sound (internet, but also incoming mail) will be coming out of your mac instead of your external speakers.

Which Macbook should I buy for music recording and production?

I'm a musician and I would really like a Mac for my recording and production. I'm going to be going to college in Australia next summer, so I need something a little more compact. I'm thinking 13 inch. I was looking at this Macbook pro Refurbished 13.3-inch MacBook Pro 2.5GHz Dual-core Intel Core i5 with Retina Display - Apple Store (U.S.). Keep in mind that I do not have all of the money in the world, as I am just a college student. Thank you for your help!

The 13" MBAir could be lighter to tote and the extra $100 to upgrade the RAM to 8GB's is well worth the investment and handle all the tasks you mentioned.

Logic Express for podcasting?

Hi all,
I'm really new to the podcasting thing and am trying to research podcasting software for my workplace. They're getting a Mac Pro and obviously it'll have Garageband but they want another step up. How is Express for podcast editing? My workplace will mostly be creating interview podcasts, possibly some videopodcasts down the line and maybe some audio slide shows.
Does anyone know if it enables users to create the XML feed, RSS feeds easily? I'm also looking into Adobe Soundbooth and would do iPodcast Producer but it is PC-only.
Any suggestions are welcomed.

I'm new to logic Express but Garageband is pretty good for podcast and easy enough for anyone to use. You may want to give it a look first.

DB Adapter: Polling For New Records returns the First record multiple Times

I Polling for New or Chnaged Records against DB2 on iSeries. The DB Adapter returns the first record from the Table multiple Times. If the Table has 5 records it displays the first record 5 times. I am using BPEL 10.1.3.1 Can anyone help me with this.

Hi there,
please check out the DBAdapter trouble-shooting guide:
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/integrate.1013/b28994/app_trblshoot.htm#CIHFEHFA
I am copying an entry from there into here:
A.1.21 Some Queried Rows Appear Twice or Not at All in the Query Result
Problem
When you execute a query, you may get the correct number of rows, but some rows appear multiple times and others do not appear at all.
This behavior is typically because the primary key is configured incorrectly. If the database adapter reads two different rows that it thinks are the same (for example, the same primary key), then it writes both rows into the same instance and the first row's values are overwritten by the second row's values.
Solution
Open Application Sources > TopLink > TopLink Mappings. In the Structure window, double-click PHONES. On the first page, you should see Primary Keys. Make sure that the correct columns are selected to make a unique constraint.
Save and then edit the database partner link.
Click Next to the end, and then click Finish and Close.
Open your toplink_mappings.xml file. For the PHONES descriptor, you should see something like this:
<primary-key-fields>
<field>PHONES.ID1</field>
<field>PHONES.ID2</field>
</primary-key-fields>
Thanks
Steve
